Asked what the secret was in their home win over Saskatchewan Calgary Stampeders head coach John Hufnagel said it was to score 1st and take the crowd out of the game
Both the Alberta NHL teams were cited for food violations in their arenas and the charges mirrored their seasons. The Oilers had instances of serving up raw meat while the Flames were guilty of being a choking hazard.
In what has to be a nod to this year’s World Cup there was another no hitter in the Major Leagues of baseball or as soccer fans call it a no no.
Rookie Dez Brant of the Dallas Cowboys says he won’t carry the pads for veterans even though it is an established tradition. Dez says he is paid to play football and once he finds a way to untie himself from the goalpost will prove it.
Team Radio Shack was penalized for changing jerseys on the last day of the Tour de France when they wore a number 28 to recognize the 28 million people who are battling cancer. The Toronto Maple Leafs says they plan to honour their futility by wearing jerseys with 43 the number of years since they have been relevant.
The NHL is doing its part to help with the Gulf Coast oil spill by providing BP with help in sending unwanted salaries to Russia
I thought TSN was getting a little too close with their camera work during CFL games but the benefits are impressive... especially the Proctor Cam which is useful in screening the prostate...
The camera and lenses have a really cool editing function which allowed a close up on a critical fumble during the Argo/Lions game and... thanks to the Ballistrator Cam... we now know that even though his testicles hit the ground it... is still a fumble...
That had to be embarrassing for the receiver when they kept circling his testies with the Telestrator and measuring them against the ball...
The isolation features allow TSN to follow each player from zip up to zip on the field which can be awkward... especially for the poor on field reporters... the TSN team in the booth needs to be there with updates faster than a lawyer to a disaster...so the guys upstairs keep up the pressure by announcing on air... we don’t seem to know what is happening... just as soon as we hear something we will pass it on... don’t make me think I’ve been drinking since noon...
The poor reporter is walking up to the player with 5 guys yapping in their ears telling what to ask... excuse me #86... you just dropped the ball... Matt upstairs says it was a sure 6... so your bad... Josh wants to know how is this affecting your mothers’ cancer... Shultzie wants an update on your negotiations for next year and on your Twitter account did you really mean LOL:)?
Wiki Leaks posted over 92000 documents in the Internet outlining the troubles the US and their allies are having in Afghanistan. This is not to be confused with Wiki Leafs where naked pictures of Toronto Maple Leafs forwards are posted.
The Federal Government is catching flack over their suggestion to stop taking the long form census. Asked to comment a spokesman for the Saskatchewan Roughriders said anything that encourages accurate counting should be encouraged
I know the purpose of putting black under your eyes... to reduce the glare of the Sun... so what is the point of the Calgary Stampeders wearing a black patch with a white horse in the middle? It’s used as an excuse by receivers... couldn’t see the ball because the horse was in my eyes...
With Rickey Ray and Jason Moss playing QB for Edmonton they don’t need a microphone in the helmet as they both have great satellite reception... I’ll bet during the QB meetings everyone is all ears...
I would like to have a say in the player drafting of my favourite teams... I think the last round of the draft should be for fans only that way we can at least have the satisfaction of watching a player we pick make the big time.
18 people were killed during a “Love Fest” stampede in Germany but PETA was happy to point out no horses were lost in the tragedy
